So then we will be looking at some garden salad recipes you can try as you prepare your meals, trust me, you will love these.

1. Garden Salad

1 medium size onion white or purple diced, 1/2 of lettuce diced, 1 small bell pepper diced or cut into thin strips, a medium size or large tomato diced or sliced into small cycles, 1 stick of celery finely diced.

2. Tomato and cucumber salad

3. Coleslaw

Another favorite of mine is coleslaw, to make this you will need 1 small cabbage, 5 medium or large carrots, (optional 1 large apple or 2 small boxes of raisins). Pepper is great to add that bit of spice but is optional, if you prefer to add pepper 1 0r 2 will do. You will also need a grater, salt, and mayonnaise.

Grater cabbage and carrots make sure to peel carrot first. Place both grated carrots and cabbage in a large bowl, add about 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the goal here is to get the cabbage and carrot moist but be careful you do want to add too much mayonnaise because your salad will not only become mushy but the taste of mayonnaise will overpower everything else.

add a pinch of salt and mix all of this good stuff together. To take it up a notch, add raisins or diced apples along with 1or 2 hot peppers, mix again real good and you are done. Now sit back and enjoy this tasty salad as a side order.

4. Spinach salad

Isn’t it wonderful to learn that all the natural healing we need can be grown right in our own backyard? These recipes for garden salads are great! I never thought about putting hot pepper in a tomato cucumber sandwich. I actually can’t wait to try this since my journey to eating healthier is just beginning since having my daughter. Can’t wait to try the other options you make in the future!

That is e very enticing page and it made my mouth water just reading it. I myself am a great fan of salads and your page has detailed the nutritional value as well of the ingredients needed to make up the individual salads. I can see that this page will go down very well who ever searches for it.

I really enjoyed reading your post. My parents used to make a salad for every meal. I have to admit…. I have been wanting to continue that tradition with my family. I really liked the recipes you had in this post. They were really helpful and sound super easy to make. What I love the most is that you can make salads any way you would like. The sky is the limit when it comes to what you can think up for a salad 🙂

Hello VHayes2 it is so good to meet you and thanks a million for those kind words. Salads are great and there are so many ways that you can make them like you said. Thanks for commenting, all the best to you and have a good day.

Mmm lubberly. I had a good salad earlier, so simple – just tomatoes and basil, radishes and red lettuce. I used to love reading Mark Sissons’s website, and he always has a Big Ass Dallas for lunch, so I did that for years. I lined to add smoked sausage or cheese or something else though.

Hello my friend so good to meet you and I am glad that you commented, what you can do to keep cats out of the garden is to install motion detecting sprinklers, set up physical barriers, embed chicken wire in the soil, scatter mothballs through out the bed cats hate the smell. These are just a few that you can try. Hope this helps all the best to you and have a good day.
